On Tuesday 6 June from 6.15pm in the Windsor Building Auditorium, multi-award winning actor Sir Ben Kingsley will be in conversation with Professor Robert Eaglestone and Professor Barry Langford, both from Royal Holloway’s Holocaust Research Institute.

On 6 June, Sir Ben will discuss the moral witness of survivors he has known, including Simon Wiesenthal and Elie Wiesel, as well as his own involvement and responses as an actor with the representation of the Holocaust.
